SHADE-ROLLER BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,365, dated June 2 8, 1904.

Application filed January 6, 1904. Serial No. 187,915. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER Gr. OHAYER, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at l/Vaterville, in the county of Kennebec and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Roller Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shade-roller brackets of that class in which provision is made for adjustment to accommodate the bracket to rollers of various lengths.

It has for its object, among others, to provide a simple and inexpensive bracket of this character which shall be simple in its construction, durable and eiicient in use, easily applied and adjusted, and not exposed to view when in position.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, forma part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is an elevation showing the application of the invention, a portion only of the window-frame being shown. Fig. 2 is a face view with a portion in section. Fig. 3 is a cross-section vertically through the bracket and the frame to which it is applied. Fig. 4 is a top plan. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the receiving portion for the roller-journal.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the bracket, having the parallel longitudinal slots O, in which are received the screws or the like D,`which are employed for holding the same adjustably in place.

B is a base and guide plate for the purpose of holding the plate A in an upright position. 1tA is provided with the flanges or guide-lugs F at top and bottom, beneath which the top and bottom edges of the plateAare received, as seen best in Fig. 2.

The screws or analogous means D pass through the slots C of the plate A and through openings in the plate B and secure the two in position on the frame. Loosening the screws permits of the adjustment of the plates, so they may be made to hold rollers of various lengths.

- The brackets are made with one having the usual angular slot Gr in the arm E andthe other with a hole H in the arm E for the reception of the pintles or journals on the ends of the shade-roller.

The flanges or lugs on the plate B serve to prevent pivotal movement of the plate A when the same is fastened by the screws D, as will be readily understood.

It will be noted that the bracket will be hidden from view with the roller when in position and that the bracket can be easily and quickly adjusted and firmly secured in its adjusted position.

Modiiications in the details of construction, proportions of parts, and the like may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

What is claimed as new is- A shade-roller bracket comprising a plate adapted to receive the pintle of a roller, and having parallel'longitudinal slots, a base-plate adapted to lie flat against the window-frame and formed with lugs at its top and bottom edges and adapted to receive the iirst-men tioned plate and screws passed through the said slots and through the base-plate and into the window-frame adapted to adjustably secure the base-plate and the other plate in position, substantially as and for the purpose specified. f

1n witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
